ISTANBUL, Turkey – A Russian man has faced court in Turkey accused of trying to carry out an Islamic State operation to destroy a US aircraft at the Incirlik base.
Renad Bakiev was arrested 13 days ago for allegedly carrying out reconnaissance near the airbase, in Adana province, the Turkish Dogan News Agency reported.
Local media reports say police had Bakiev under observation after intelligence provided by Turkey’s spy agency, the MIT.
Reports also stated that he was trying to raise money from other militants to buy a drone, which prosecutors claimed he was planning to fly into a US jet.
He was charged with attempting to "stage a bomb attack aiming to bring down a US plane using a drone", the reports said.

I thought all of those blue-eyed ethnic Russians were Christian in a non-diverse country. And whole battalions of ISIS have been found to have Korans in the Russian-language.
